Myasthenia Gravis
Abstract
Twenty years ago, the discovery of a deficit of acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junctions of patients with myasthenia gravis1 and the development of an animal model of the disease2 shed new light on a disorder that was first described clinically 300 years earlier by the great physiologist Thomas Willis3. During the past two decades, remarkable progress has been made in our understanding of myasthenia gravis, and the new knowledge has been applied directly to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this formerly grave disease. Myasthenia gravis is undoubtedly the most thoroughly understood of all human autoimmune diseases and . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
